Got to say, the Measurable Difference Concealer Palette is very disappointing and not cause of the reasons some people have already. I was at a store called Five Below this past week and they had those palettes in stock for $5!!! So I feel a bit deceived this palette is showing as $20.

I agree but I think those ones have minute flaws in them and that’s why they’re only sold for 5 dollars. I’ve also seen this palette at Ross for I believe $6.99 but when it’s sold from the actual brand, it’s $19.99 because it passed all the requirements and quality control. Even though you may not see a flaw in the 5 dollar ones, they’re there. So even though you can find them at a discount, they retail from the brand for $20. I’ve bought higher end makeup from Ross and TJ Maxx at a hugely discounted price but they always had some type of flaw with them that’s why they’re so cheap. Hope that helps a bit. I got my box already and absolutely hate the concealer palette. It did not apply well, it was very thick and didn’t blend right on my skin. So I would not pay 20$, nor would I even pay $5 for it. I’m glad I got it in a sub box instead of spending money on this product by itself because I would have been highly disappointed.

I guess there are more variations. I got the Pur brushes although I have been subscribed since February. I didn’t get the hairgurt or lipgloss. Instead I got an eyeshadow from Cargo cosmetics in the color Yulon and Aloepure Time Repair serum by Aloette.

How much did your box weigh? Hoping for this variation!

It weighed .9 lbs. the box was labeled kit #17 so I think a lot more variations will be coming out soon. 😃

I subscribed to Boxy a few years ago and had a bunch of shipping issues, so I let it go. But their boxes have been pretty amazing and I’ve let go Allure, Ipsy and Birchbox, so I just resubbed. Which I was getting April but I’m on the waitlist.

The Ofra highlight alone makes the cost the box worth it to me. I just hope it looks okay on my super fair skin. I have a slight tan going on right now from being outside a lot lately (FL girl!), but I’m still pretty light. So fingers crossed this doesn’t look like a stripe of highlighter on my cheeks! I’m also glad that I’m getting the PUR sponges instead of the brushes. I’m already on brush overload (thanks to Boxy and other sub boxes) and I’ve wanted to try the PUR sponges ever since I heard Kathleen Lights rave about how good they are. So now I’ll get to see how they compare to the Real Techniques sponges, which I love way better than the beauty blender because of its shape. These PUR sponges are supposed to have a flat side on one side like the RT sponges, so I’m excited to see if I like them just as much or maybe more! 🙂

Okay, I think I’ve decided to cancel Ipsy (and maybe Allure) and get this instead. But I can’t until next month because I already paid for this month.

I did the same. I cancelled both Ipsy and Allure. I love this subscription.

Hey girl. If I were you, I wouldn’t wait to sign up. I’ve heard some people being on the waitlist for almost 2 months while others were off in 3 weeks or so. There is a pretty long waitlist right now
Reply
Camille
Wow, I must have lucked out because as soon as I saw the items (mainly the Dr. Brandt scrub) for February’s on YouTube, I signed up and was off the waitlist within two days.
Either way, I agree, I’d go ahead and sign up asap.

I was on it for about 4 weeks,, if people sign up now they more then likely wont get this box but May’s , unless of course if a lot of people un-subbed then there would be a chance.

Im super excited about this box and just received my shipping notice yesterday…which is great because i just got march’s box literally 2 days ago,lol…. I hope i get the shade in the video (of the gloss) or a similar shade,but i have to admit since i started getting subscription boxes i have been stepping out of my comfort zone and trying (and loving) a lot of products and shades i normally wldnt try 😍

I am beyond excited for this box!!! I thought the Pur sponges were going to be tiny, for like under-eye concealer but I’m so happy to see they are full size. I have never owned a beauty blender and I had one in my cart and decided not to get it! I can’t wait to try these and I’ll be interested to hear other’s reviews about how good they are compared to the real beauty blender. I am so excited!

Kathleen Lights says these are the best dupe of the Beauty Blender!

If you’ve never used any type or brand of sponge becareful with nails when your using it & cleaning.. I think the texture of a real beauty blender & others are so similar don’t waste your money ! I love the beauty blender blotterazzi

I hope I get the Cargo gloss. It is my favorite brand.

The only thing I’m not excited for is the concealer palette 🙁 Pretty sure it’s going to flood the swap site as well >_<

MSA has a swap site so that people can trade things they don’t use in their sub boxes 🙂
You must become a member before you can start swapping.

It’s part of mysubscriptionaddiction.com – if you look at the menu/directory you’ll find a link to ‘swap’

You can have mine 😉

So excited! I loved the Hairgurt conditioning mask they gave us a few months ago, so I’m really excited to try the Hairgurt shampoo. And the Ofra highlighter looks awesome.
I don’t really know what I’ll do with the majority of colors on that concealer palette, so I’ll probably be trolling YouTube for tutorials, but hopefully it will give me the chance to learn some new techniques!
Reply
Ashley
you can also mix shades to get the exact color you need/want. I feel like no one is thinking about mixing them and just see the pallet and write it off that they’ll never use the super dark colors. I’m sure you’ll find a favorite in the pallet that works perfect but when that runs out you can mix a light one and a dark one for the same effect. Hope it helps

You can use some as a contour and even as an eye shadow base! 🙂 I’m looking forward to experimenting! 🙂

Julia
Why would you need a whole palette of concealer shades, unless you worked as a makeup artist for others? Each one of us can only use one concealer shade on her face. I don’t get it.
Reply
Cassie
The deep peach color would actually be perfect for color correcting dark circles and noticable veins under the eyes if this turns out to be really good quality. I’m sure one of the lighter yellow based shades could work great as color correcting as well.

Not really. I blend and mix various concealer shades and I am sure others do too. There are plenty of uses for most of the colors for many people.
Reply
Julia
Thank you everyone for explaining!!! I feel better now about the possibilities 🙂

I’m sure many people will use it for contouring- and for contouring, this is likely a great palette. But even then, not everyone contours, myself included. So like you, I won’t get much out of this palette either. :/

You could use it to fill your brows or as an eyeshadow base or as a highlighter or to mix shades with
Jackie
Lets not forget that not everyone is white. This is a great product because you may only be able to use one shade, but every person will get that opportunity. And with summer coming, you may get a tan so you can always mix colors to get your perfect shade all year round.
Sheila
I know for me I lay out and tan in the summer mostly because it puts my psoriasis in remission so i get really dark, and i know not everyone tans but thats why im excited to get it because ill b able to use more than a couple of the colors
Reply
michelle
i think it is because if you get tan during the spring or summer, or if you go on vacation, its meant to be super versatile all year! you can also use the darker ones to contour and do a cream bronzer. thats just my take on it 🙂

I absolutely Loved the hairgurt conditioner I ended up buying the shampoo but I’m just about running out so I’m super excited about this box!!!

Only excited for the sponges and highlighter…

I’m hoping the hairgurt has a variation. I definitely don’t want my hair smelling like banana and I don’t have dry frizzy hair so it wouldn’t be useable for me.

Ughhh I can’t wait for this box!!! Hope mine comes earlier than last month 🙂

I got the Hairgurt conditioner and it smelled fabulous, so I am really looking forward to the shampoo! I also need some concealer, so this month should be great.
